My son was getting brainwashed at school and I couldn't articulate an argument.

So I've presented him with a South Park marathon. It's an amazing way to show a teen the bullshite when they just think you're old and don't know what your talking about.
It should be required viewing in today's world.

Depending on what the topic is, you can search on YouTube or Rumble for that topic and then add 'Thomas Sowell' and see if he's commented on it - he's good at concise explanations. That may give you a frame of reference to shape your remarks. Also, there are old Sowell columns and books on the internet, some are free downloads. That might help if you want to address things yourself.

Friend,
This is the most pathetic thing I have read thus far today. Granted, it is only four in the morning, but the idea that you are using a filth production to educate your children is most unsettling. I suggest you start with a Classical education, founded on the Bible. Give him the theological, philosophical, and literary tools he will need to analyze and organize for himself the dilemmas of today’s world.
Yours,
TulaneLSU

Depending on the topic, PragerU has some great videos that are really simple for anyone over 10 to understand on a number of subjects.
Also, your rules may be different than ours. But I have told my oldest kid it is ok to question things or challenge the teacher (respectfully) on anything that he either knows to be different or has a different perspective. (Again without being rude or anything like that). I know for him, he kind of enjoys that, and being able to debate ideas.
Ultimately, if you are a conservative, you want your kids to be able to formulate their opinions on their own. Parents should teach them critical thinking skills, objective truth, how to rrad and interpret history in context and time, etc. Once they have that foundation, they will be able to hold onto their beliefs through anything like college, etc. (In fact these experiences may further strengthen these beliefs)

Home school, if possible. Schools have become a cesspool in lots of places.

A fine example of the devolution of society and intellectual curiousity.

We were all brainwashed/indoctrinated in school to one degree or another if we’re being completely honest with ourselves. Long gone are the days when competency in reading, writing, and arithmetic was the goal of education.

So what was the subject they brainwashed him about?

This is a problem. People need to be able to articulate their argument. Most cannot.
When you read the letters that civil war soldiers, who were just laborers or farmers, sent to their wives you realize how much more educated they actually were back then than we are now. They could express thoughts and feelings much better than 99.9% of todays population.

South Park is modern day Chaucer. It is definitely must see TV.
